Product Management Leader
I build and scale high-performing product ecosystems across Tier-1, MENA, and LATAM. As well as design and product departments.
With 20+ years in the software development, I've led product transformations across B2B, B2C, SaaS, and B2B2C in industries like iGaming, AI/ML, FinTech, MarTech, AdTech, and more. I don't just manage products — I architect ecosystems that deliver revenue, retention, and scale.
I've improved every major KPI you care about — from CR to Net Profit — by building funnels, cultivating hypothesis-driven cultures, and embedding performance monitoring into daily practice.
